“After a year and a half of the pandemic, best friends Shawna and Juno enjoy one last day at the beach before entering the throes of an in-person sophomore year. They face how much, and how little, they’ve changed since seventh grade, and what that means for their friendship and their senses of identity. Magazine quizzes, summer camp crushes, and awkward funerals fill their world as they wait for their uncertain futures. SUMMER’S LAST SWIM casts a comedic eye toward the nature of young female friendship.”
